Stranger Things season 4 fan theory sees Hoppers return and Elevens revenge

Stranger Things season 4 hasnt even been announced yet but its pretty safe to say that its going to happen at some point in the near future.

But while we wait in the meantime this is the optimum chance for fans to play detective and lay out their theories – with one of the latest ones being the perfect reason to get Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) and Will (Noah Schnapp) back to Hawkins.

With the Upside Down and the Demogorgon not quite over with yet – and Russians seemingly having a connection to it all, one fan reckons theyve figured out why Eleven is so connected to the Mind Flayer.

Reddit user Falloutaddicted noted they reckon that the Mind Flayer is actually, 001, and much like Eleven, who runs up her energy to the point of nosebleeds, the Mind Flayer has discovered that extracting peoples energies (ie. killing them) is how they get the energy they need.

So the creepy and gory Mind Flayer that weve seen kill and maim across Hawkins could actually be a creature built by 001, connected to the real body but far enough away so it can take the damage.

As a result, they think theyve cracked whats to come in season four.

They wrote: This is what could be the storyline: Will and El cant sense the Mind Flayer as they are out of Hawkins, while the others start to notice some strange activity and investigate and split up at some point.

One group gets ambushed and trapped in the flayers power reactor, another group discovers that the portal in the lab is open again and contact Eleven and Will to come back to Hawkins and the final group will confront the government (who wants to keep all strange activities secret) with this, they continue.

Once Will arrives in Hawkins he starts to feel the Mind Flayer again and El still tries to deal with the loss of her powers. The group in the reactor has escaped and tries to go back to the normal world but doesnt know where the portal is, so they go to Starcourt Mall (or the ruins) and discovers that the communists are there working together with the Mind Flayer.

The group confronting the government quickly discovers that Hopper is still alive and the Russians keep him hostage, as the American government keeps one of their commanders hostage, this action is being lead by the one and only Dr. Brenner who got promoted because of the project with El.

El discovers this too and wants to make her way to Brenner to kill him while the others need her. She even got so mad when she heard that she got her powers working again and decided to help defeating the Mind Flayer.

When the ones in the Upside Down got back in the normal world after a while and the entire group was united again Eleven stepped through the portal to fight the Mind Flayer, they concluded.

This will result in an epic end battle where El nearly loses but the other numbers help her.

The idea isnt without fault, but its not a completely bad shout.
